Default Corvette Tech/Dealership

Hello.
Not sure if this is a question I'm "allowed" to ask or not; but, I need your advice.

I live northwest of Atlanta, have a 2016 and need a dealership with a tech(s) that have a clue about Corvettes. I've been going to the same GM location that had a tech (also my friend) certified on Corvettes since 2005. He died last month and I have no idea where to go.

I've called GM, they don't have this information (go figure). I've taken my car, one other time, to a dealership that was closer to my hom. It was a total waste of my time. After spending 3 minutes in my car, they said they couldn't duplicate the problem. Imagine that.

If anyone can DM me, or post here if its allowed, I'd really appreciate your help.
Thanks

Two options....I have done both. You can call you local chevy dealers and chat with the service manager ask which techs if any have corvette experience and or ask do they have any master techs. If you do find a place be aware these guys are usually busy and get paid a higher rate. So the dealership would not want to use them on a free oil change paid for by GM for example.
